Actually the phrase started with Atlas management/marketing back in the late 1990s in reference to how the 767 would fit in the heavy freight market that Atlas serves. I do not think that the humor in referring to a 767 as a "light twin" was obvious to the first users of the phrase, with the exception of Mr. Chowdry.

You guys need to start making jokes about "heavy" 747 Captains.
